Opening a Recent Document

The last several documents opened in Serna are remembered so that you can open them using the Open Recent menu. The maximum number of documents on the recent document list is configurable.

Opening a document from the Open Recent list has the following peculiarities:
  1. The document is opened with the same XSL Stylesheet and XML Schema as previous time. If the template has been modified since the last opening, this won't affect the document opened from the recent document list.

  2. The document is opened in the same authoring mode that was when you closed the document.

  3. The document is opened with the same document view that was when you closed the document.

  4. Serna view is restored to the state that was when you closed the document, even if you didn't save the view.

Note that all this information is cashed even if you restart Serna and will be applied when opening a document from the Open Recent list.

To open a recent document, do the following:

  1. Choose Document > Open Recent .
  2. Select a document on the list and click it.
    Note:

    When you move the mouse pointer over an item on the list, a tooltip is shown providing the filename, stylesheet and schema information.

    Figure 1. Open Recent list. A tooltip shows the paths to the file, stylesheet and Schema.
